Abstract
Fire and Rescue Department is a main rescue organization in Malaysia. In addition to firefighting, the department's tasks include rescue operations, fire safety, investigations, and many others. Recently, the media has focused heavily on major disciplinary problems that impact firefighter performance. The studies have attempted to explore this further by investigating the effect of work-life balance (WIPL, PLIW, and WPLE) on employee satisfaction mediated by work motivation. The idea behind the problem is rooted in Staines' (1980) spillover theory, which illustrates the effects of balancing multiple responsibilities. The study used a basic random sampling research method with a quantitative approach and focused on 300 firefighters in Sabah. This corresponds to the total sample size recommended by the Raosoft calculator. To get an accurate result of data sampling analysis, the data was collected using Google Form surveys and analyzed using Smart PLS 4.0 as an analysis tool. The study's findings demonstrated a strong correlation between WPLE and employee satisfaction and work motivation, with partial mediation accounting for the significant mediation relationship. Theoretically, it has improved and expanded the understanding of spillover theory. These findings benefit human resource management by helping management understand the impact of firefighter employment and providing information to policymakers.
